I mean....I like more power and skills. But I am really struggling with the idea that in order to do this I am going to need to allow multiple vile little creatures swimming in my brain. I am not even a big RPer, I lean more to the combat strategy and exploration side of things. And even for me this is difficult so swallow (or in this case, drill another eye hole)
In my opinion the idea of putting more things in your head sounds a bit silly. I think it would seem more reasonable if instead of adopting and welcoming them to your brain, you still killed the other tadpoles but were given the option for your own tadpole to somehow absorbe their essence or something.
I agree 100%. The multi-tadpole in the first instance of poor writing I've encountered as it just isn't consistent with what we are trying to achieve from literally the first second of the game. The system itself is cool and interesting to me but thematically it just doesn't make sense.
I think it would have been better served as one tadpole depicted in the centre of the brain; but every tadpole that dies in its vicinity turns to mist, worms up your nose and empowers your tadpole making it glow; and you can then pick a skill from the tree - which leads to an animation of a new tentacle worming from the tadpole to the skill node on the brain tree to unlock it.
